Interesting that they specify they're running on 2300Mhz. I wonder if this will work on 1800 mhz too?

Does this new FUP apply to existing contracts?
No ways I doubt it, the new one has all sorts of restrictions (10Mbps etc) those should only apply to it
True, says business and all hours
I have a feeling Hellkom 'fixed' this 'feature'Change to unrestricted apn or maybe topup with a cheap *123# Mo Nice bundles to lift the throttling.
P2P now going off nicely on the 50GB bundle whilst on unrestricted apn
We can only know once we hit the 350GB mark what happens
Should have been kept to PMs lol

Well, when I said as much, earlier in this thread...
Ok am a little confused now someone please tell me in my traceroute are hops 4 & 5 an indication of Carrier Grade NAT / LSN ? I am using the unrestricted APN as shown in screenshot as well
As per my previous post, the P2P bundle now has movement
PS: I see I'm also having trouble with my Plex port forward, port appears closed from outside

So true there were few glitches brought out in this forum with telkom which they stoppedWell, when I said as much, earlier in this thread...
Can anyone help me with my options?
I have finished recently 24 months on the R1004 for 100GB Telkom LTE package, but I would love to get on uncapped (yes understand FUP) somehow. Have never received a call about upgrade. I use the B593.
- Ideal would be month to month (not locked into another 24 month contract) as I am now on the 100GB package, is that possible?
- http://www.telkom.co.za/today/unlimited-broadband/ R799 pcm x 24 I have blue coverage on the edge of my house, for a tower quite far away with 6 seats left, but not enough to let me apply as it doesn't cover the whole house! 1) Would I actually get coverage with/without external aerial (i.e. how safe do they play it with the coverage map)? 2) In store will they give it to me if I show them the map? 3) Giving a false address, is that still a thing?
- July deal https://secure.telkom.co.za/today/campaign/july-big-deal-2018/ R899 x 24 uncapped (have seen new FUP, I'm ok with it) - is this one not locked to a tower so I could use the closer tower I currently connect to?

Often there is coverage way beyond the blue on the map. DONT go for the July special it is crippled and only runs at 1/10 of normal LTE speeds. It's a really bad deal actually IMO.

I'm inclined to agree. It's not really LTE uncapped- in fact it's worse the the previous so-called "uncapped"
It should really be called 10meg - something or other

Yip just saw the FUPs it is an abs joke. I will take my uncapped at 120mbps thanks!
True LTE uncapped is so misleading. 10meg is slower than 3G going back 12+ years...
